Tips For Becoming A Concert Cellist

By Marisol Guy


The height of many cello players is to become a concert cellist. This is not something that is easily achieved and requires a passion for music and a love of the instrument. There may not be many famous cellist out there, and few people who can name even one, but there also are not that many roles for the few that there are. This means that competition is high and tough. To be the best is the only way to compete in the industry.

An important step to becoming a musician is to start young. Children's minds are the most flexible, so they have a better ability to pick up new information and skill sets. However, there are not many three year old kids who are itching to pick up a cello and become the next great thing. This is why it is so important for parents to encourage them from a very young age.

To be the best you must study with the best. Finding a teacher who is accomplished and incredibly talented is another important factor in reaching the end goal of concert cellist. There are many people out there who are more than capable of teaching the cello, but many can not teach the ability to be great.

Practice is key. It is not good enough to learn something to perfection, you must continue to practice everyday. Keep in mind that no matter how good you are now, there are still people who are better. Then strive to be better than those people. Continually challenge yourself, and set new goal to reach everyday.

No one can be the best at what the do with equipment that is inadequate. This is true for any profession. Having a cello that is insufficient can be detrimental to a musicians career. Even if they are the best, this faulty instrument can make them sound amateur, and could be the thing that costs them the audition. An investment in a great instrument may be the thing that makes or breaks a career.

For the aspiring concert cellist auditioning is a huge part of their life. Until that role is landed they will constantly be going on as many as possible. This is not just a way to get the role of their dreams, but also to receive feedback and advice from experts so they can learn and adapt as necessary to reach their goals.

The key to success in any career is never give up. These words could not be more true for a concert cellist. No one ever became great by thinking that they couldn't do something. Practice and constant trying are the steps to the top of the success ladder.

To be a concert cellist means a lifetime of hard work and concentration. In order to achieve, one must have a love and passion for the instrument that is put above everything else. The results are a beautiful talent and music to take your breath away.
